I've noticed when trying to play along with the videos to Mrs Robinson on Youtube that I'm sharp (or the recording is flat). Is this just a feature of the playback/recording which affects pitch or am I nuts??

Well I used this recording:
And to play along you have to capo it on the 3th fret and then it's still slíghtly out of tune....I guess that's due to the playback/recording wich sometimes affects pitch.
However, it comes close.
btw....no you're not getting nuts!

Dean I've had the same thing with some Beatles songs on vinyl ... about a 1/4 out.
I don't know how true this rumor is, but I have heard (long ago, don't remember from what source - hence the term "rumor") that on old albums they had a practice of either speeding up or slowing down the entire album to meet the total minutes requirements for the album.
